Traveling with Royality

 Tonight was once again Weight Watchers, so another park date for Emma and Daddy.  Today Emma decided to be a Pink Princess all day, and insisted on going out in style.

After they picked me up, we had dinner at Elmers, and then it was on to Target to pick up some "Clothes Soap" in the words of my husband.  When he told me this, all Emma heard was Clothes, and started saying "clothes, I want clothes.  Can I have some more clothes?  Please!" It appears we have a clothes horse on our hands.  We did end up getting her a few items of clothes, which she could use.

Bethany is Here

 My Cousin Bethany lives in Mesa AZ these days with her husband Dan and their three children.  Bethany and I shared an apartment for a while until she and Dan decided to marry.  Now that they live so far away, we miss them terribly.

So this year, they all came up to visit family here in Oregon.  Dan was only here for about 10 days, so we wanted to be sure to see them while he was here.

So today we drove up to my Aunt Judy's house to visit with the Proctor Family.  Emma and their youngest really enjoyed playing together.  We were so busy visiting all night that we forgot to take photo's until we were getting ready to leave.  I had already dressed Emma in her PJ's (with the hope that she would fall asleep on the way home) when we pulled it out.  It was such a nice visit, and we really need to plan a trip down to Mesa again.  After  all, we both have family there to visit.

Enchanted Forest - Take II

 We decided we needed a trip to the Enchanted Forest Today.  We had brought Emma last year, but she only liked about half of it.  She refused to go in any of the Fairytale buildings, and loved the slide.

 This year was a completely different trip.  Our little girl loved this place.  She was excited to see and try everything, except the crooked house and the slide.  She did try the slide once, but that was enough this year.  It is funny how they change.

We also purchased the wrist band for her rides, which ended up being great.  There are 5 kiddy rides, and she could do all but one of them.  She tried them each and loved each one, but differently.

 Emma followed Mommy through the maze

 Are they being swallowed by that witch?  Emma wouldn't even get close to this mouth last year, but was a pro this time.

 Not too sure about this shoe slide this year.

 Daddy was hear as well

 She got a good long ride on the bumper boats, with a full crew going in. 

 This was by far her favorite last time.  Pretty good this time too, but so many other rides to try.  We only rode the train three times!

 Not quite sure about this cage!  But she did it, and did it again.  She said she liked it, but never smiled until we made funny faces at her.

 This became her favorite ride this year.  We did it four times.  The second to last trip was with a group of girls who screamed.  Emma just looked at them and smiled.  The next time down, she decided to try a quiet scream herself.  It was rather adorable.

 Glenn decided he wanted to ride the Challange of Mondor, a dark ride where you shot at blue lights.  Emma was brave, and rode along, only informing us it was too scary after the ride.  Such a little trooper.

We had a nice lunch while we watched the Water Show, did some more exploring and ended our day.  It is really quite fun to share this place with our daughter.  Both Glenn and I have memories of being here as kids, and now she will too.
